The Labour and Employment Law Newsletter provides comprehensive insights into significant facets of labour legislation, both in India and internationally. Divided into distinct sections, it elucidates critical aspects of the Apprenticeship Act, 1961, outlining obligations for employers and apprentices, including training, reservations, and contractual terms with respect to the current legal position in India. Recent Developments in Indian labour Law delineate key amendments and provisions, such as the Standard Operating Procedure for EPF Exempted Establishments, Maharashtrian proposals for menstrual leave, and exemptions in Punjab's Factories Act.

Internationally, the newsletter captures noteworthy reforms: New York City's workers' bill of rights, the Ninth Circuit's ruling on union and employer-sponsored health plans, and Fiji's alignment with ILO standards.

Latest case laws highlighted decisions shaping legal precedents, from the Supreme Court and High Courts. Cases like UP Singh v Punjab National Bank on suspension and duty-bound compliance, and B.Suresh v. Chief Engineer on prolonged absence's implications on service abandonment offer insightful legal interpretations.

The newsletter's content addresses multifaceted legal aspects, providing a comprehensive resource for legal professionals, employers, and employees navigating the intricate landscape of labour and employment law.
